Introduction
-~·
:_•
Change is a powerful word. As a noun,
it indicates that something is different. As
a verb it moves us to be different.
It coils for action and leaves us
excited ,unsettled and insecure. Without
it, we stagnate, but the transformation is
painful. While construction is changing
the face of the college, new programs
ore changing the scope of the Fashion
Deportment.
The Fashion Deportment will soon be
moving to new quarters. It is still months
away, but we think about it doily. We
dream about the new space and what
beautiful surroundings we'll hove. We
think about how much we've changed
since moving out of H Building where
we will soon be returning. Our programs
ore stronger than ever. The new Textile
Certificate invites artists to commit
themselves to their own interests, the
Fiber entrepreneur invites the creative
person to find his/her passion and
create a new business.
Entrepreneurship is now a reality housed
in Studio V, our new Merchandising Lob,
a retail outlet that currently represents
over l 00 student and community
artists and artisans. Fashion merchandising students developed and built this
store and some of the products offered
for sole come from design courses that
produce experimental pieces. It con be
done. We've done it! The creative spirit
is stronger than ever.
Change also means that sometimes we
hove to soy good-bye. Through retirement, we hove lost some special people.
But such is the process of change.
4
It will continue. Through change, we've
invited new faculty to join us. The family
grows .... and changes.
Change is a big word and con toke
us anywhere. So, the dreams that we
shore for this deportment ore becoming reality, and the transformation is
outstanding. Really!!

Jury Show
The Jury Show is a critique of the work created by our Fashion Students during the past
year. Industry professionals offer students the opportunity to demonstrate thei r skills
through this presentation. This is a very important event for both the students and the

students' skills are required by the Illinois Community College Board. This critique is
essential in meeting those requirements, and indicates the level of expertise our students
have reached. Students are introduced to industry professionals and potential
internships, and faculty is shown where changes can be made to correct and enhance
the program. The jury is al so the means by which we determine the composition of our
